Sitemap Parser

Parse and analyze sitemap.xml files. View all URLs with metadata, validate structure, and export results to CSV.

About this tool

A sitemap parser that takes a sitemap.xml file (paste the raw XML) and extracts every URL with its metadata — lastmod, changefreq, and priority. It shows a stats overview (total URLs, count with each field, domains used), a sortable table of all entries, and validation warnings for common issues such as missing <loc>, invalid priority values (< 0 or > 1), unknown change frequencies, or URLs without an http:///https:// scheme.

Example: paste a sitemap with 50 URLs → see that 45 have a lastmod date, 30 have changefreq, 3 have invalid priority values (> 1.0), and URLs span 2 domains. Export the list to CSV for further analysis or to share with the SEO team.

Useful for SEO audits, checking a client's sitemap for compliance, validating a freshly generated sitemap before upload, or extracting a URL list from a sitemap you found on someone's site.

FAQ

Does it follow sitemap index files?

Not yet. If your XML is a sitemap index (points to other sitemaps rather than URLs directly), the parser will report no <url> entries. Copy each individual sitemap from the index separately.

What does it validate?

Missing <loc> tags, URLs that don't use http/https, priority values outside 0.0–1.0, and invalid changefreq values (valid: always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never). It does not verify that the URLs actually resolve or return 200.

Can I export the parsed data?

Yes. Click "Export CSV" to download all URLs and their metadata as a CSV file for spreadsheet analysis, or "Copy table" to copy a tab-separated table to your clipboard.

Does it support namespaced XML?

Yes. It uses the standard sitemap namespace (http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9) and falls back to non-namespaced tag names if namespace-aware lookups return nothing.

How do I create a new sitemap from scratch?

Use the <a href="/sitemap-generator" class="text-accent hover:underline">Sitemap Generator</a> to build one with a form — add URLs, set lastmod and priority, then download the sitemap.xml file ready for search engines.
